Good Job, Brain! #162: New Slang (2015-10-01)
Humans say the weirdest things, and we take a roller coaster dive into finding out the origins of slang words, and how some of them evolved into everyday use: the first “people’s dictionary,” The New York Times’ unintentionally hilarious slang clarifications — and Karen theorizes how “BAE” came to be, and notices how many sayings came from making typos. Don’t hit a four-bagger into the five-hole when taking Colin’s colorful sport slang quiz, and the weird and morbid story behind “drinking the Kool-Aid.” Starring Karen Chu, Colin Felton, Dana Nelson, and Chris Kohler.Running Time: 58m 13sDirect Download — iTunes — SoundCloud — GoodJobBrain.com — RSS
